WarriorFish Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks, the picture isn't great but you can just about make out the highlighting :P Keep an eye out for more vehicles for the ETL, they're my speciality ;) Yours is coming along very nicely, the missing part isn't really noticeable from that shot but if it does annoy you I'm sure you can fashion a replacement bit easily enough.

march10k Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 I certainly can see the highlighting...it's a bit tougher in mine, with three shades of gray...the hellstrike missiles are on, as is the nose landing gear, just working up the two wing-mounted landing gear, then it's on to more kasrkin /edit/ Or should I start on my Avenger Strike Fighter?

WarriorFish Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Maybe best to take a break from flyers for a bit after doing this..? You can do a few Kasrkin and then jump back in to the fiddly model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hmmm...good call! And the Valkyrie is done! I actually messed up and put the flying stand interface piece where the rear landing gear goes, so it tips backward when I take it off the stand...grr...won't make that mistake again! Now, on to some more glory boys! Oh, yeah...here are the shoulder markings...I guess I'll finish putting those on before I start new models!

chaplainmikey Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The Valkyrie looks fantastic. It may have been hard work but it certainly payed off. Nice job with the freehand insignia on the Stormtroopers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

march10k Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Well, trooper 6 is done, and 7 well begun...should have eight tomorrow, and ten by Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Well...eight will be is done tonight, and I might finish nine and ten tomorrow, a full day early, their bases are done and all of the prep, like clipping the tabs and such, is done, as well as a start on basecoating their uniforms. I had considered doing this next: ...but Pask in a Vanquisher sounds like a great way to kick of ETLIII, so I may wait and just do more stormtroopers instead.

march10k Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Yay...the stormtrooper squad was done a few days ago, I've been amusing myself with a chaos knight (I bought a box of chaos warriors about three years ago, I've painted about 15 models since then...maybe they'll be playable before I die of old age) waiting to start pask for ETL: And I've begun work on Pask for ETL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 And two...now I can get the hull together! I'm thinking my second vow will be an avenger, a valkyrie, and a tempestus platoon (one line squad and one command squad)... /edit/ And, cruising along: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Okay, off to slaughter someone with chimera spam...here's my end of day status: I'm ecstatic. Digging through my bitz, I found the upper half of a tallarn mukkali rider commander. Yep, that's my Pask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

march10k Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Well, I didn't set eyes on my painting table till 7PM today, so not much progress, in stark contrast to yesterday, when I was a total paint-bum. I'm done but for the turret, commander, and camo: I also primed part of the next vow, which will probably consist of: an avenger with dual missile launchers 190 ten stormies with dual melta 150 stormie command squad with four plasma 145 two valkyries 250 an autocannon heavy weapons squad 75 For a total of 810...

march10k Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Not much progress, but it is some...I still need to paint the underside of the turret, the commander, and the camo. Oh, and the turret hatch and gun shield, lol ...started on the camo, Pask is done except for his arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Ladies and germs, I give you Knight-commander Pask in a Vanquisher with hull lascannon (and squadron mate who was painted years ago) Working on this now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Well done march, I like your Pask conversion he suits the camouflage scheme. I too look forward to seeing more Stormies finished :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Well, it's been a few days, and I haven't gotten a terrible amount done. My shadowsword has arrived at the FLGS, but I haven't picked it up. I've finished one model out of the next 10x stormtroopers, and two more are in the progressive stages, while the other seven are cleaned, clipped,and have a little bit of the basecoat applied. I also got a few bases done (I need more...grrrr...stupid tabs!), and primed the avenger and bought the next valkyrie...sounds like a lot, but the real painting consists of...maybe the equivalent of two complete models in three days...not good!

WarriorFish Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Slow days are fine, wouldn't want to burn out after all! As long as you've made some progress that's the most important thing. Keep going! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Kinda got stuff done today. I've decided to do the first five out of the stormie squad, then the avenger, then the other five...and I got started with piecing together sub-assemblies of the avenger, with the inner part of each wing mounted to the fuselage, the engines and outer part of each wing forming a separate assembly. They'll be mated after painting. I haven't done anything with the tail, landing gear, weapons, or cockpit interiors (frighteningly detailed!) yet, and some bits that came in a separate bag, plus the missile launchers, are in the "releasing agent releasing solution" for a looooong soak ATM. Two stormtroopers done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Nice! FW large bits are usually a pain in the backside but the end result is always worth it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Here's one side of the avenger's tail section...it looks like a lot of blue, but that's the tail, there's no blue at all on the fuselage, just the wings and the tail, and the wings'll have less than the tail...it'll be mostly gray, matching the valkyries (except I won't do the red edging on the blue here). I'm also down to the shoulder pad insignia on the third stormtrooper, he'll be done tonight, and progress on the other two, as well. Status update on the 5 first members of the 2nd squad: /update: The sergeant is finished, and the second meltagunner needs some highlighting is all. I also continue to crank out the three layers of dawnstone needed on the avenger...it's slow and tedious, but worth the effort. The back 1/3 of the fuselage (easy) is done, the underside of the middle third is started, as is the other tail section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 In preparation for a game next Tuesday, I've decided that it's critical for me to paint up five autocannons...happily, I've vowed three for ETL, so this diversion won't slow down the completion of my ETL vow too much. I'll finish knocking out the highlighting and shoulder pads on the second meltagunner in the squad I've been working on first, and I can report (wait, it's in the picture below) some progress on the other half of the avenger's tail section...but that will slow to a crawl until I get the five autocannons knocked out.
